3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2017

Notes to Financial Statements

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates are made in relation to the allowance for doubtful accounts and the fair value of certain financial instruments.  

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AfterMaster, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-Company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Investments

Our available for securities are considered Level 1. Realized gains and losses on these securities are included in “Other income (expense) – net” in the consolidated statements of operations using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses, on available-for-sale securities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (accumulated OCI). Unrealized losses that are considered other than temporary are recorded in other income (expense) – net, with the corresponding reduction to the carrying basis of the investment.

Our short-term investments are recorded at amortized cost, and the respective carrying amounts approximate fair values. Our available for securities maturing within one year are recorded in “Other current assets,” on the balance sheets.

Accounts Receivables

Accounts receivables are stated at amounts management expects to collect. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for uncollectible receivables based upon management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at each reporting period considering historical experience and customer credit quality and delinquency status. Delinquency status is determined by contractual terms. Bad debts are written off against the allowance when identified.

Fair Value Instruments

Cash is the Company’s only financial asset or liability required to be recognized at fair value and is measured using quoted prices for active markets for identical assets (Level 1 fair value hierarchy).  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for notes receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 Market prices are not available for the Company’s loans due to related parties or its other notes payable, nor are market prices of similar loans available.  The Company determined that the fair value of the notes payable based on its amortized cost basis due to the short-term nature and current borrowing terms available to the Company for these instruments.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. The Company has a sequencing policy regarding share settlement wherein instruments with the earliest issuance date would be settled first. The sequencing policy also considers contingently issuable additional shares, such as those issuable upon a stock split, to have an issuance date to coincide with the event giving rise to the additional shares.

Using this sequencing policy, the Company used this sequencing policy, all instruments convertible into common stock, including warrants and the conversion feature of notes payable, issued subsequent to July 5, 2016 until the note was converted on the same day were derivative liabilities. The Company again used this sequencing policy, all instruments convertible into common stock, including warrants and the conversion feature of notes payable, issued subsequent to August 19, 2016 until the note was converted on August 22, 2016 were derivative liabilities.

The Company entered into multiple amendments to a note payable to extend the maturity date (the Amendments). The Company agreed to additional $30,000 extension fees which were converted at a percentage discount (variable) exercise price which causes the number to be converted into a number of common shares that “approach infinity”, as the underlying stock price could approach zero. This creates a situation where the Company no longer has shares enough available to “cover” all potential equity issuance obligations during the period of issuance until conversion.

On February 3, 2017, the company entered into a note payable with an unrelated party at a percentage discount (variable) exercise price which causes the number to be converted into a number of common shares that “approach infinity”, as the underlying stock price could approach zero. Accordingly, all convertible instruments issued after February 3, 2017 are considered derivatives according to the Company’s sequencing policy.

The Company values these convertible notes payable using the multinomial lattice method that values the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations.

Income Taxes

There is no income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 due to net operating losses for which there is no benefit currently available.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had deferred tax assets associated with state and federal net operating losses. The Company has recorded a corresponding full valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Revenue Recognition

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. ASC 605 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue related to goods and services provided when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company's revenues are generated from AfterMaster products and services, AfterMaster Pro, sessions revenue, and remastering.  Revenues related to AfterMaster Pro sells through consumer retail distribution channels and through our website. For sales through consumer retail distribution channels, revenue recognition occurs when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer which usually occurs upon shipment to the customers. We established allowances for expected product returns and these allowances are recorded as a direct reduction to revenue. Return allowances are based on our historical experience. Revenues related to sessions and remastering are recognized when the event occured.

Cost of Revenues

The Company’s cost of revenues includes employee costs, and other nominal amounts.  Costs associated with products are recognized at the time of the sale and when the inventory is shipped. Costs incurred to provide services are recognized as cost of sales as incurred. Depreciation is not included within cost of revenues.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per Common Share is computed by dividing losses attributable to Common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. The losses attributable to Common shareholders was increased for accrued and deemed dividends on Preferred Stock during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 of $56,367 and $42,238, respectively.

Diluted earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional Shares of Common Stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding convertible Preferred Stock, stock options, warrants, and convertible debt. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, all of the Company’s potentially dilutive securities (warrants, options, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt) were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive.  The total number of potentially dilutive Common Shares that were excluded were 37,364,624 and 27,689,839 at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
